One of the preventive measures against Swine Flu
Use “Nilgiri Oil” (Eucalyptus oil) drops on handkerchiefs and masks as one of the preventive measures against Swine Flu (NIV) National Institute of Virology.
Please share this valuable information with your friends.
Not just Tulasi, Vitamin C rich substances are known to boost immunity. So taking hot Lemon or Amla (Indian Gooseberry) powder mixed with hot water would be very helpful.

Tulsi can help keep swine flu away: Ayurvedic experts
Lucknow, May 27: Wonder herb Tulsi can not only keep the dreaded swine flu at bay but also help in fast recovery of an afflicted person, Ayurvedic practitioners claim.
"The anti-flu property of Tulsi has been discovered by medical experts across the world quite recently. Tulsi improves the body's overall defence mechanism including its ability to fight viral diseases. It was successfully used in combating Japanese Encephalitis and the same theory applies to swine flu," Dr U K Tiwari, a herbal medicine practitioner says.
Apart from acting as a preventive medicine in case of swine flu, Tulsi can help the patient recover faster.
"Even when a person has already contracted swine flu, Tulsi can help in speeding up the recovery process and also help in strengthening the immune system of the body," he claims.
Dr Bhupesh Patel, a lecturer at Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar is also of the view that Tulsi can play an important role in controlling swine flu.
"Tulsi can control swine flu and it should be taken in fresh form. Juice or paste of at least 20-25 medium sized leaves should be consumed twice a day on an empty stomach."
This increases the resistance of the body and, thereby, reduces the chances of inviting swine flu," believes Patel.
MEENU RR KILIMANOOR
Our TV, including the doctors appearing on it - have created a wrong impression about swine flu. It is a new virus. There is no treatment for it. [There is no treatment for common cold either]. [Scientifically, cure means summary disposal of the causative organism. E.g. TB can be cured, so can Leprosy be. But common cold can't be cured - the medicines we give address only the symptoms of cold - not the disease proper.] Like other flu-s, H1N1 also runs its course of a week or 2. It is self-limiting. It dies on its own. [Unless our energetic doctors use antibiotics etc]
Its symptoms too are just like common flu in 99.5% of cases - fever, headache, body ache, weakness, running nose, vomiting and/or diarrhea. All one has to do is to stay away from doctors and/or hospitals, do tepid sponging and/or Metacin tabs - only if temp goes over 102 or 104 [ depending on ones physical health], [ our body raises its temperature for the express purpose of killing the viruses], Take plenty of water, vegetables n fruits, keep oneself as clean as possible.
In 0.5% of cases, swine flu can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome. [Not unlike SARS] There is no way of telling who will get it or why. There is no way of preventing it too. There is no point in going to a doctor or dispensary. The moment one has breathing problem, the moment his nails or skin turn bluish, he has to go immediately to a tertiary care hospital - which has ventilators and full fledged pulmonary care facilities. Death is certain without a ventilator.
Does it look scary? Not really. The chances of one dying due to swine flu are less than that due to a bolt from the blue or a king cobra bite. W.H.O says nearly 1/3 of Indian population will get H1N1 infection in a matter of few months. Its prediction of death toll for India, in worst case scenario, is not more than 3000! [So the disease to death ratio becomes 300000:1]
A health worker quipped the other day - “A few hundreds died due to h1n1, and everybody is walking around with a stupid mask on their face, a few millions have died due to aids - but no one wears a condom!
And that mask is useless, viruses travel in micro-aerosols which can easily pass through. Only a respirator [n95 masks] can prevent viral spread.
And just because virus has entered ones system - it doesn't mean that he will develop flu. Even if a confirmed H1N1 patient breathes directly down the throats of some 100,000 people, not even a 100 of them may develop flu.
Many doctors have claimed on the TV that if the patient is diagnosed and treated early and energetically - they can save his life. It is bullshit. There is no early treatment and there is no energetic treatment. No treatment is needed unless the patient develops respiratory problems - and when he does develop - no treatment may be enough. A ventilator and intensive pulmonary care in the best equipped hospital is the only hope.
It looks ridiculous to see people, with their stupid masks, lined up outside dispensaries and middle-level hospitals. There is no viricidal drug. Even Tamiflu [Oseltamivir], at its best, can reduce the course of the disease by a day or two - nothing more. Even the latest drug, Relenza [Zanamivir] – which is used as an inhaler- is only marginally better.
What we can do then? Keep our natural immunity high. How? Vegetables, fruits and exercise. Drink enough water to flush out the toxins from our system. Stay a safe distance from doctors and dispensaries! [Nothing better than your sweet home as far as all these self-limiting seasonal viral episodes are concerned] Maintain high standards of personal hygiene. In fact we need to bathe more frequently when we run temperature. [It will bring down the need for metacin/ paracetamol] Take special care of those who are vulnerable - children, elderly, immuno-compromised and having concurrent ailments.

PS:more good things are emerging ABT h1n1. Once u have the infection - u will get life-long immunity, even against the more virulent forms of h1n1. There are no side-effects, sequelae or complications after h1n1. [ unlike dengue or chicken guinea]. Ur health will be at its best for the next 6 months or so after an episode of h1n1. It is almost like chicken-pox. Hence we are better off, if we can manage to get a sub-clinical dose of h1n1 infection!
